More Reactions by Excluded Group

I must have really made the other group
very angry! The last week has been very busy with emails from the
natural medications group. They are highly agitated and are taking
out their frustrations on me. Two of the group apparently asked Tim
to bring them to my apartment last Saturday. I did have company when
they stopped by unannounced and they were rather timid when I
introduced them to one of my friends with the highway patrol.

Because he was off-duty and driving his
own car, one of the two got a little bolder and made a threat toward
me. That caused my friend to show his badge and tell him he was
under arrest. When the fellow turned to flee, my friend told me to
call 911 and request officer needs assistance. I supplied as much
information as I could and my other friend told Tim and the second
fellow to step outside the building and stand there.

Two of the city police soon had the
first fellow under arrest and brought him back to the apartment. The
highway patrolman told them the charges to take him to the county
jail for holding and asked if I had any questions. I just said the
other two should leave and not come back. As they left, my friend
said he would go file his report and come back.

His friend
is also a highway patrolman living in our town and he asked if this
was a common occurrence for me. I said that our diabetes support
group had recently become two groups and the one group is not happy
as they thought they had excluded me from both groups. The
disagreement is about dietary supplements and alternative medicine
and my statements that these need to be disclosed to doctors. Most
people say these are natural and the doctors don't need this
information.

Even he understood this and said the
fellow made a threat over this. I said yes, and because about half
of the support group believed me and support me, and the other half
disagrees with me. Then on 1 September, the group that supports me
had a meeting and made me a member again after I had been told by the
past leader that I was no longer a member. The group that wanted me
out was not invited to the meeting and when they retaliated about
that, they were told that they were not invited or wanted.

Two
other groups don't want these people as members and they are
beginning to understand that. I think this was the purpose of their
visit and I am thankful you two happened to be here.

At that point, my friend returned and
he said there were more problems and more charges against the
individual.

I thanked both for being there and my friend
said that he had wanted his fellow patrolman to meet me and to know
what my background in transportation involved. He then asked me if I
might expect more trouble. I said anything is possible, but I was
surprised by the threat, as I don't think the other two would have
brought the fellow if they had suspected him of doing what he did.
They both agreed and said they would stay in touch and said good-bye.

About Me

I am enjoying life, despite diabetes type 2. I am retired and enjoying the time I have for writing and photography. I was diagnosed with type 2 on Oct 2003, on oral meds for 4 months and they were doing nothing to really improve my daily readings. By cutting my carbohydrates I received the most improvement, but still not enough. Then I requested insulin, even though I did not like the thought of needles. That brought about the biggest change and A1c's in the lower 6's and upper 5's. Now I am working at maintaining them under 6.0 and hopefully nearer 5.5.
